CSPi’s ARIA Deploys AZT PROTECT to Block $100,000-Per-Hour Production Losses
ARIA Cybersecurity, a CSPi business, implemented its AZT PROTECT solution within the operational technology infrastructure of a major U.S. oil refiner. The system locks down critical applications from disruptive updates and exploits, avoiding potential losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour and deferring multi-million-dollar upgrades.
1. Deployment Overview
ARIA Cybersecurity, a CSPi business, completed its first deployment of AZT PROTECT within the operational technology infrastructure of a major U.S. oil refiner, securing critical control systems against malware, ransomware, and vulnerability exploits without needing Internet-based updates.
2. Operational Benefits
The patented lockdown approach prevents disruptive updates, reduces false positives versus legacy endpoint protection, and maintains 24x7 availability, thereby averting production disruptions that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour.
3. Cost Savings and ROI
By eliminating reliance on vendor patches for end-of-support applications, AZT PROTECT extends the life of legacy systems and postpones multi-million-dollar upgrade programs, delivering a simpler, automated protection model with a clear bottom-line ROI.
